Until You Are Home
I will swallow your pain
Though it sticks in my throat
Till I can’t take a breath.
I will bury your anguish
In a place you won’t see it
And leave you the light.
I will carry your burden
Along with my own load
To let you stand taller.
I will clear cluttered paths
Moving things that can harm you
So you won’t falter.
I will hold you
As long as you need me
Until you are home…
